It had been there a couple of days without soil or water and was in sad shape. I dug a hole, trimmed it back fairly severe, watered it --- and it took off. It was in such bad distress I never thought it would live out the summer --- but survive it did and it currently blooming. The yellow shrub is one of my favorites.<BR/><BR/>Enjoyed your article and photograph very much<BR/>TERRYTerry Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01251750196282728118noreply@blogger.com
